This one is written a little differently to all the others, but most of the technology found in this can be found in his other works, like acceleration tanks on ships. It's not bogged down with technobabble though, and does a great job of simulating a huge universe without overwhelming the reader with useless stats and figures. All in all, another great book.

Ever wondered what a plant based zombie attack would be like in the UK? Well, this is the book for you.

It's written from different characters point of view as they try to escape the plant based carnage, and there doesn't seem to be much to it apart from that. It was a short cheap read, but ultimately forgettable, unlike the authors other fantastic reads such as Firmware or BFTSS series.

So if you want a good zombie or horror book, this probably isn't for you - it's hard to get scared about a giant sunflower melding with you. I really tried to like this book, but in the end the story just didn't do it for me!

Rift: Standard alien massacre of humans, until you figure out that it's all about humans not understand the aliens, because they do think alien.

Swords and saddles: My least favourite of the three, but still an entertaining short read about US Cavalry who get stuck in a parallel universe.

Failure to Obey: I loved the JAG in space series, so this was just great. And there was no Paul Sinclair in this one! I do have one question about the JAG in space universe though - when does anyone get any time to do anything? They're always in bloody court! :D

Another great set of books by Doug Dandridge. I do enjoy the Donut universe, and it's good to see where it all came from.

This one actually had some action in it, compared to the first book of the Exodus trilogy, however it's still relatively slow paced. This isn't a bad thing however, and it's a really enjoyable read. I look forward to the third one!

This is the second book in the Redemption Trilogy (I prefer calling it the Last Praetorian series for some reason in my head). It's a great read, with not too much hard sci fi, and a damaged but powerful main protaganist.

The sequel focuses on what happens after Radec returns from the grave, and continue at full pace from there. Then there is his relationships between the two women in his life - hard arsed Miranda always gets left out it seems, however she's definitely not as hardy as she was in the first book. All in all, a very good book, and I look forward to the next one.
